Hi, i have a HDMI cable and my laptop has a HDMI port, can i just plug in the cable and connect where the xbox screen appear on the laptop screen ?

THE ANSWER IS NO..
Wasn't there a similar thread about somebody wanting to play 360 on his laptop ... I mean ... if you can afford a 360 and a laptop, shouldn't you also be able to afford at least a 20-inch LCD as well?

our laptop is HDMI output, if not mistaken.. so cannot..

I'm currently studying oversea ... brought along my xbox to it ... no tv here and it's quite expensive to buy one.

i not sure my lappie is out or IN HDMI port.... however, i get to know from ppl to buy a USB RCA port to connect the three component cable into it by using a software to capture the video. I'm not so sure how and its a bit complex... tht's y not sure had other alternative

all HDMI slots you see on lappies are OUTPUT only.
unless you go for those expensive editing class lappy that permits video input..but so far i've never seen them at large..

yup. agreed with technopile.. laptops hdmi is used to display ur laptop screen on lcd tv/lcd monitor.

and yes, u may use tv card to display it on your laptop screen.it's not complex. easy actually.

I heard by using USB video capture adapter and a software as well can play on laptop screen . the adapter name is Easycap 2.0 i think.

Yeah but that thing only has composite on it,so the quality won't be THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST</foofighters>.
Look for a USB Video Capture card that has component,that looks much nicer.

Dunno how far things have progressed but my old Nvidia 6600gt had s-video in and when i used it for running my gamecube, i encountered very very significant input lag. You usually can't test out how these things so don't buy until you've done more research on the interweb.

Well there are alternative cheap widescreen 19" LCDs right?

yeah u were right, tested by a person, resulted 25fps on PAL and 30fps on NTSC . However, they said with a slightly decent laptop spec can run it smooth, i'm not too sure

U really dun wana look at the price of LCD in australia. it's expensive ...Unless ppl selling for second hand

StaticICE is your friend.

Around 160-180AUD for a 19/20incher, not that horrendous actually.
One example of a shop I searched in 2min.

p/s: the TV tuner thingy itself would probably cost 80-100AUD so you really might wanna consider this instead.
